Adventures Afloat: From Chicago's Gold Coast to the Far Shores of Lake Superior: A Family Voyage

Program date intended for grandparents, their children and grandchildren ages 7 - 12.

With rough-and-tumble history and natural wonders that make you say “Wow!,” there’s something for the whole family to learn about on this odyssey through the Great Lakes. We’ve planned enriching experiences for explorers of every age, as we journey from Chicago on Lake Michigan, through the Soo Locks to Lake Superior to the shores of Thunder Bay.

Highlights

•Get a local’s look at the can’t-miss icons and neighborhoods of Chicago.
•On beautiful Mackinac Island, a Victorian-era haven, learn how locals get around without cars, using bicycles and horse-drawn carriages.
•Hike, kayak or learn the history of the amazing coastal wilderness along Lake Superior.
